Started the gym proper today too, so might be my target weight is "harder" to reach, due to more muscle - but that's not a bad thing as long as I'm a toned chubbette

gaining?!?!
Unless you have an underlying medical issue relating to pregnancy and body fat, I wouldn't bother with it. My Mum (a midwife) has had pregnant women come to her with BMIs of over 50.

I seriously wish I was joking on that...

And I do agree with the others. Dump the diet pills and record everything you eat. Then find a plan and stick to it.

Good luck <3

What is a "reasonable" goal?
I have what is probably best described as a sugar addiction. Only sugar and carbs I allow myself now are fruit and veg; if I don't, I gain weight as opposed to shedding it, regardless of exercise.

My brother (a former PTI for the TA) pushes protein and lack of processed carbs. So I have fruit for breakfast and it seems to do me fine.

What is a "reasonable" goal?
If I'm hungry, I eat. Got that one from when I did the Atkins diet. Just no carbs/sugars seems to cut down kcals a lot.

That'd probably be it, Riocaz. I'm consuming around 1200kcals a day but again that varies based on day (whether or not I'm at home, etc) and if it's a case of I'm not losing weight due to excess exercise with lack of calories, I'll up it as needed.

What is a "reasonable" goal?
According to my Diet Calendar I'm averaging a loss of around 2300 kcals a day. Of course, it could all be lies, but you never know!
